Public Member Functions

PX_INLINE PxCapsuleGeometry ()
 Default constructor, initializes to a capsule with zero height and radius.
PX_INLINE PxCapsuleGeometry (PxReal radius_, PxReal halfHeight_)
 Constructor, initializes to a capsule with passed radius and half height.
PX_INLINE bool isValid () const
 Returns true if the geometry is valid.

Public Attributes

PxReal radius
 The radius of the capsule.
PxReal halfHeight
 half of the capsule's height, measured between the centers of the hemispherical ends.

Detailed Description

Class representing the geometry of a capsule.

Capsules are shaped as the union of a cylinder of length 2 * halfHeight and with the given radius centered at the origin and extending along the x axis, and two hemispherical ends.

Note:
The scaling of the capsule is expected to be baked into these values, there is no additional scaling parameter.
The function PxTransformFromSegment is a helper for generating an appropriate transform for the capsule from the capsule's interior line segment.
